ANTHUS TRIVIALIS (Linneeus). 

 TREE-PIPIT. 

 ^ 1920. Five. — England, in or before 1846. 



' ['The Zoologist' for 1852 contained a note (p. 3707) from Mr. Powjs, after- 

 wards Lord Lilford, stating that on the 12th of July in that year a friend of his, 

 Mr. W. W. BuUer, found a Shore-Lark's nest with four eggs near Exmouth. The 

 statement naturally caused some surprise, and in the following summer, just about 

 the very same day, my brother Edward, then staying with me at Torquay, went to 

 the place, the position of which we had ascertained from Mr. Powys, to find if any 

 bird of that species could be seen. Needless to say that none rewarded his diligent 

 search, and the egg above entei*ed was the sole result of his long day's work. Lord 

 Lilford was very unwilling to doubt his original informant, now long dead, and not 

 until 1895 did he sorrowfully admit to me that he must have been deceived.]
